So true.

Literally

Quite literally

24 artworks every single sec 😵‍💫

They don't make 'em like the old days

Wow! How and where did that happen?

I was lucky enough to visit the Suginami Animation Museum in Tokyo, where the several animation techniques where explained, like the parallax effect created with all the different stacked layers. So awesome! planetyze.com/en/japan/tokyo/suginami-animation-museum

@@JPSOUSAdesign That's amazing! It was at Anime Weekend Atlanta back in 2011, they had an exhibit hall that was all about the creation on Akira. The people that were in charge there allowed myself and my friends to hold a few of the cells and explained how they were used and all.

The cels becomes glued once they get attached for too long. I have Akira cels from the ending battle and they are completely stuck together, can't get em to separate even if I tried

@@TheOwnerofFightClub Wow, didn't know that could happen. That's rather unfortunate to hear. Cool that you have them at least.

Ahah I was thinking the same, they are so terrible

But, Kaneda is voiced by an original teenage mutant ninja turtle! lol

@@matteomariani5160 I wouldn’t say it’s terrible

its not bad tho

@@katpottz476 I loved it

You do realize they're still older than you right lol - even if they're 9 in their timeline doesn't mean that their timeline doesn't move unidirectionally towards our timeline

@@jaredconnor I hear what you are saying and respectfully, It don't mattah.

@@ArtistTheArtist05I'd like to think of it as a snapshot in history. Just like how a photo of yourself as a teenager will always be a teenager even if you grow older, Akira is merely a snapshot of its time.

Phonixs are real 😊

The Retro Decade Revival Project will get it back.

@ @UCXW7TxUNzy4qRf4Ns4Bp11Q, sad but true...

@@JPSOUSAdesign Not if the Retro Decade Revival Project is gonna. change all that for good.

@@reneastle8447 You're wayyyyyy too optimistic

@@IAm-zo1bo The world is temporarily full of pessimism, hate, doubting, and ungrateful people. True optimism is about being grateful for what you have and hoping for the best to come. As Michael J. Fox once quoted, "Optimism is a cure for many things."

They do on the Blu Ray which was released 9 years ago and the recent 4k has it as well. Look in the settings, read the back of the box, the old dubs on there. And don’t say it isn’t, I have the Blu Ray and it’s there and all reviews of both the Blu Ray and 4k say it’s there. Also, the old dub is bad.

@@ChainsawManDude97 No, the old dub is good. The new dub is bad.

@@columbiauniversityisunrank5683 you don’t even have an explanation for why you think the old dub is good.

@@ChainsawManDude97 You don’t even have an explanation for why you think the old dub is bad and the new dub is good.

@@columbiauniversityisunrank5683 old dub: weak and miscast voice actors, and incorrect changes in dialogue that makes scenes confusing. New dub: good and well cast voice actors, correct and faithful to the original Japanese version with scenes that make sense because of correct dialogue.

And kaneda was voiced by Cam Clarke/ liquid Snake

@@MRT408 SNAKE!!!

wtf?? lmaoooo

@@iamjigzzy I think it's Joshua Seth doing the narration. Why he decided to do it like that. No idea

Hahaha benkyô benkyô benkyô benkyô!

Also worth watching Shirobako!

So it seems: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_(1988_film)#Music

This is from the VHS collectors edition double pack: www.videocollector.co.uk/akira/24276

HAHAHA! He sure does! I guess it was just another part time job he had at the time.

I'd recognise that voice anywhere, he was part of the core dub for Iron Chef

"You can't handle the truth!"

Sure sounds like him!

Sure sounds like him!

I would like to hear that version also. Where have you seen it?

@@JPSOUSAdesign on KZfaq, but my friend is downloading it for me

If you enjoy both versions, well said!

@@bluerulesgreensucks thanks

@@mrkaji8913 Dumb question, but are you a fan of both dubs?

The Pioneer version didn't just "did a better job" or "least they were trying to act" they ACTUALLY did a fantastic job and an amazing vocal performance for the film. Anyone praising the streamline version is BADLY blinded by nostalgia to spew that rubbish as there are some saying horribly dumb claims in the comment section right now about it.

@@mattstonge7112 yeah that’s fine and completely normal. But it should be obvious which one people are going to generally positively respond to.

@@mattstonge7112 sure, that's fair enough.

@@Gadget-Walkmen If you're a hardcore anime fan, you're going to generally positively respond to the Pioneer version because it's more faithful to the Japanese version. If you're a film buff, you're going to generally positively respond to the Streamline version because it's better acted, more quotable, and just more entertaining.

@@Gadget-Walkmen The Pioneer version didn't do "a fantastic job and an amazing vocal performance for the film. They did a lousy job and boring, phoned-in performances for a product created solely to enhance sales of the DVD. I saw both versions for the first time in 2007. I saw them practically back-to-back and spent way too much time comparing them. Trying to dismiss praise of the Streamline version as "nostalgia" is a bad, dumb, rubbish argument. I didn't grow up with either version. The Streamline version is just better.

Yeah, the good dub with nothing but good actors. Streamline and Harmony Gold didn't even dub this lol - it was dubbed by Kodansha, the distributor, and Streamline was given the North American rights.

Ironically, the original dub was actually produced by the Japanese, by Kodansha, who published the original Akira manga and was part of the film production committee. Many of the same actors that had been involved in Streamline Pictures dubs were cast though in it.

@@RocStarr913 And that's why it's good.

Yeah, the good dub with nothing but good actors. Streamline and Harmony Gold didn't even dub this lol - it was dubbed by Kodansha, the distributor, and Streamline was given the North American rights.

No. Streamline did their own dub. For the Pioneer re-dub and re-release, they included the Kodansha dub as an alt audio track, along with the original JP audio and re-dubbed EN track. The Streamline one was Streamline. That's why it's total shit.

I've been told that these type of caracters are the most "profitable" in the industry. Screenplays target the most susceptible teens\young adults, as they are the ones who can relate the most with these (we all have been through this,I'm sure...). And most important of all, teen consumers are the most demanding ones! That's why there are so many contents made to this audience.

@@JPSOUSAdesign okay thankyou for that. I was obviously being single minded about this.

​@@JPSOUSAdesign That´s true and Otomo knew that and used it consciously. The youth of the characters comes to be an important part of the deepest themes in Akira and also I think Otomo wanted to give a message to the youth specifically.

Bro, the English dub from 88/89/91 was really good...
